Mytob.LQ is a Worm. Worms spread from computer to computer, making copies of themselves over the network. They could spread over email, IM, peer-to-peer networks, or directly over the wire by leveraging vulnerabilities. Mytob.LQ is compressed using the executable packer and its file size is 37,870 bytes. It uses the network connection:
  • Looks for an Internet connection.
  • Connects to "yahoo.no" on port 25 (TCP).
  • Connects SMTP server.

Mytob.LQ drops the following files on the hard drive:

  • C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\tmp3629.tmp (38156 bytes)
  • C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\tmp9362.tmp (38158 bytes)
  • C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\tmp2986.tmp (38158 bytes)
It also changes Windows registry:
  • Creates value "default"="" in key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run".
  • Sets value "default"="" in key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices".
  • Sets value "Start"="\x04" in key "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess".
